Bound states of a central potential
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For any central potential V(r) = V(│r│) the eigenfunctions of H can be separated as
❬r❙E,l,mₗ❭ = Rₑ﹐ₗ(r) Yₗ﹐ₘ(θ,ϕ)
The radial S.E. is
⎡−͟ħ͟² ⎛ ∂͟²͟ + 2͟∂͟ ⎞ + l͟(l͟+͟1͟)ħ͟² + V(│r│) ⎤ Rₑ﹐ₗ(r) = E Rₑ﹐ₗ(r)
⎣2m ⎝ ∂r² r∂r ⎠ 2 m r² ⎦
Rₑ﹐ₗ(r) = U͟ₑ͟﹐͟ₗ͟(r)
r
(pic) ...
(pic) Developed radial schrodinger equation using U(r) replacement
- Developed normalization condition
If V(r) is not more singular at the origin than 1/r^2 then the SE has power series solutions.
Thus for small r we take U(r) → rˢ
(pic) substitute U(r) = rˢ into S.E.
-ħ²/2m [(s(s-1) + l(l+1)] + V r² = E r²
For r → 0
r² → 0
V(r) r² → 0
⇒ s(s-1) + l(l+1) = 0
⇒ s = l+1 or s = -l
If s = -l, the normalization conditions
∞ │∞
∫ r⁻²ˡ dr = 1/(2l-1) 1/(r²ˡ⁻¹) │ → diverges
0 │0
Uₑ﹐ₗ(r) → (r→0) → rˡ⁺¹
Rₑ﹐ₗ(r) → (r→0) → rˡ
The Hydrogen Atom

V(r) = -e²/r
For a hydrogenic ion with nuclear charge Z
V(r) = -Ze²/r
